'the mezzotint process used [in the present work]... had been invented by johann teyler in the netherlands around 1688. as practised here by bartholomaeus seuter (1678-1754) and johann elias ridinger (1698-1767), it was really a combination of etching and mezzotint, which made possible delicate lines and a very fine grain. the addition of hand-tinting brought about unusual and subtle effects. some of the best work was done in later volumes by johann jakob haid (1704-1767)' (hunt) \n \n \n paper size: ~ 9 7/8\" by 15\" \n \n \n paper type or special features: originally hand-colored mezzotint engraving"},"estimateMax":2500,"lotNumber":"9746","title":{"en":"weinmann - 6 aloe engravings"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/trillium/source/catalog/auction/74394/lot/37817/view","tags":["usart_printsandmultiples","usart","usart_all"],"conditionReport":{"en":"The work is in very good to excellent condition.
